Occasionally, his personal essays have been featured on Medium, Thought Catalog, and The Advocate. When not searching for an extra hour in the day, he can be found obsessing over movies, drinking his (umpteenth) London Fog, or writing length Twitter Threads summarizing how Slytherin is the best Hogwarts House. A Place for Wolves is his debut novel. Visit him at kosokojackson.com.--This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Kosoko Jackson recommends

I'll Make a Spectacle of You (2025)
Beatrice Winifred Iker
"Heart-pounding tension, edge of your seat thrills, and excellent prose, Beatrice Winifred Iker's I'll Make a Spectacle of You was a book I just couldn't put down. If you love folk horror and always wonder if the shadows are looking back at you, this is the book for you."

The Dead of Summer (2025)
(Dead of Summer, book 1)
Ryan La Sala
"Ryan brings their A-game with The Dead of Summer. As much a work of art stylistically as it is structurally, Ryan's sharp, signature prose reminds us all of the siren-song power of their craft. An engrossing read that'll absolutely pull you under."

The Rules of Royalty (2024)
Cale Dietrich
"A must read for all who love, love."

Icarus (2024)
K Ancrum
"With stunning prose and a deft hand, Ancrum doesn't simply rise to the challenge of navigating a compelling tale of love, trauma and vengeance, she soars. An instant classic for those who desire complex stories, beautiful writing, and engaging storytelling."

The Manor House Governess (2023)
C A Castle
"Thought provoking, atmospheric and introspective . . . Not only demands a space in the classics hall of fame, but reminds all queer people, now more than ever, we deserve to take up space and matter. A must read."

Wrath Becomes Her (2023)
Aden Polydoros
"A tale of power and agency that is just as timely now as it was during its setting 80 years ago, Aden Polydoros has once again proven himself to be a master of storytelling and a talent to watch. If you're looking for one novel to sate your horror hungers, this is the book to read. I'll be thinking about this one for months to come."

Zhara (2023)
(Guardians of Dawn, book 1)
S Jae-Jones
"Jae-Jones has done it again! Guardians of Dawn: Zhara is a new entry into the fantasy pantheon I've been waiting for. Every reader can find something to love in this first installment of a sure to be monumental and vastly important series. I cannot wait to read more!"

The Romantic Agenda (2022)
Claire Kann
"Joy is a character who personifies her namesake to a T, and I'm here for it! The definition of a comfort read, The Romantic Agenda puts front and center underrepresented voices, and an engaging plot that belongs on every romance reader's shelf. Claire is a powerhouse author to watch."

Delilah Green Doesn't Care (2022)
(Bright Falls, book 1)
Ashley Herring Blake
"A classic in the making, Ashely's adult debut is a warm welcome home from the first page. A swoon-worthy, laugh-out-loud romp of a romance, this rom-com deserves to be amongst romantic titans like You've Got Mail, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Sleepless in Seattle."

Speak for Yourself (2021)
Lana Wood Johnson
"One part an homage to nerdiness, one part love story with a dash of rom-com goodness, Speak for Yourself will appeal to anyone who's a go-getter, a ride-or-die friend, or most importantly, a dreamer."

Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun (2021)
Jonny Garza Villa
"A refreshing addition to LGBTQ literature, Garza Villa’s Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun authentically reminds us of the power of love, the strength of friendships (near and far), and most importantly, the complexities of living as our true selves. A book I wish I had when I was a teen, and a must read by all those, no matter their ages, working to define themselves in this messed-up, complicated, beautiful world."
